Loves and Dislikes

LOVE: My friends. There's never a dull moment when we come together and celebrate. Fundue in celebration of Diane was yummy and fun! It was so great seeing friends I haven't seen in months.

DISLIKE: Hectic schedules. Everyone is busy these days, but it's no fun when schedules are so busy that individuals get extremely limited time to enjoy life outside of work and school.

LOVE: Jeremy hugs, Jeremy kisses, Jeremy cuddles - basically, Jeremy. I'm still amazed and grateful that our love is still going strong after 5.5 years and that I'm still learning new things about him and enjoying the time we get to spend with one another.

DISLIKE: The fact that I fall asleep better when Jeremy is around to cuddle with, simply because we're always so far apart/never get to fall asleep together.

LOVE: Parties & get-togethers. I think the combination of good food shared with good company and good conversation is always a happiness booster.

DISLIKE: My uncontrollable eating habits at these parties I love so much. Food has a way of coercing you to continuously eat it while it sits in pretty displays on the table in front of you. VERY dangerous, yet so so good.

LOVE: Jeremy's family. They've always made me feel like a part of the clan and I love spending time with them and hearing stories and seeing pictures of their memories and little Jeremy. They're also always so supportive of each other and their exuberance is refreshing. Jeremy's grandmother is also one of the kindest people I've ever met and has always made me feel like her own granddaughter, and how I would have guessed my own grandmothers would have treated me...

DISLIKE: Relatives living so far apart from one another. I realized that this time last year, I was on my way to the Philippines to visit my relatives there. Though Skype has been a great way to stay connected with my cousins, somehow video and voice chats aren't as fun as actually spending time together.

LOVE: Trips with FFFCUP. Crazy, exciting, and hilarious things always happen on FFFCUP trips. I am sure this summer's AZ/CA trip will be no exception.

DISLIKE: How expensive international airline tickets are.

I was asleep for about 2 hours and had a dream that I was updating this blog, so when I just woke up a few minutes ago and couldn't fall asleep again, I decided to really update this. Just a few likes and dislikes, mainly reflective of my GREAT weekend so far. On another note, I am SUPER excited about my orientation for Grad School this tuesday evening! When I asked, I was told that it would take about 2 hours, so I'm very eager to learn more about the program, the university, meet more of the faculty, as well as my new classmates.

Many parts of my life are falling into place and I'm really enjoying it.

Girls' night in AC in a couple weeks is another thing I am looking forward to :)
